BAD WORDS are NOT allowed in the CITY: "Is it GOOD or BAD?"

I wonder how that would be implemented on the President when he visits Baguio :)

When I was young, students were not allowed to say bad words in school and people who did in the public places were not very well looked.

When or if everyone gets used to the idea of that they just might speak only good words and not the bad ones awfully hard that would be here I can tell you.

People will still cuss The term P.I is so satisfying to shout for them to stop it. I mean even the President is using it on his vocabulary.

WE advise students to speak politely and in civilized manner but enforcing it with a rule is difficult.

Too bad to our President Rody Duterte he will have hard time delivering his speech or else he will be penalized with the city ordinance.

How would they keep up with what people are saying unless they are yelling it, it would be a nice plan if they can make it work. Each establishment should get a swear jar and make them pay every time they swear, thats what we do lol

It's difficult to get this rule working because in frustration people tend to use bad words.

This is a very good ordinance!!! It may not work perfectly but it will reduce profanity!! Profanity should not be used around kids!!!!

It is good. Too bad for the president when visiting Baguio.

@Shavkat So what happens if people utter a dirty or bad word? Do they have to put money somewhere or pay someone for each bad word they say?

I think it's okay. I don't mind hearing it but if that makes people better, why not practice it.

Yet another instance of the nanny state trying to control how the populace thinks- this is the reverse of a government of, for and by the people. It is just oppression by another name...

your president is notorious

For me it is more like a statement than a law since it would be hard to implement and enforce it since it would just be hard to pursue those that would say bad words. Your city would sure be flooded with violators because I know there are persons who uses this words regularly like it is a part of him already. As many are saying that would be awkward when the president would visit and does it.

No, it's not achievable. People will cuss and they will find a way to cuss. They might mutter it or use another language but it will happen. I don't advocate using it for provoking others but if it's a form of release, then why not? No. because it will hard to enforce. And ho is to say that they curse knowingly or not? It's very subjective. As I mentioned, it like banning gossip. Banning something that comes naturally to a person is hard to enforce and doesn't guarantee that people will stop. It's a form of policing society that I really don't like since it is very counter-productive.

People say whatever they want here. Kids are used to hearing bad words.

Is there a list of such words?

I think it is a stupid and ridiculous ordinance. That being said, when I am in public I try to be mindful of other people and just be a responsible adult. But not everyone can be like that I suppose. I'm thinking to myself, it seems like the Philippines has way more other social and economic issues that would seem more important to deal with than this. THIS is how they spend their time?

As long as it is implemented. Should be done not just in words but in deeds.
